Chapter 453 Pink is suitable for concubines
Then they talked about many things from their childhood, and they seemed to be having a great time, at least on the surface.
It was not until Jun Moye yawned weakly that the prince and the sixth prince stood up and said goodbye.
After the two of them left, Jun Moye put away his weak expression and walked towards the main courtyard.
Lin Hanzhi had already left.
Su Hanchu had already changed into comfortable pajamas. Seeing Jun Moye coming back, she spoke with a smile.
"Have you been talking for so long?"
Jun Moye took off his cloak.
"Well, these two are quite talkative. They haven't stopped talking since they entered this Bai residence."
Su Hanhan smiled and spoke when she heard this.
"It's hard for them to find so many topics to chat with you."
Jun Moye sneered when he heard this.
"I never thought that only a few years have passed and a new round of succession battles is about to begin. As expected, being in the royal family always brings so many ambitions."
Su Hanchu smiled and spoke upon hearing this.
"It seems you have gained a lot today."
Jun Moye nodded slightly when he heard this.
"The Second Prince is calm and composed, a typical smiling tiger. Don't be fooled by his outwardly friendly appearance. He is just trying to befriend everyone and take advantage of opportunities to see who can bring him benefits. As for the Sixth Prince, although his status is lower, he has been able to survive in the imperial city for so many years under the suppression of Jun Moxu and others. He is also a patient man."
Su Hanchu nodded upon hearing this.
"It's natural that a prince of the imperial family wouldn't have it easy. We've received quite a few messages today, and the fish have already started to take the bait. Next, we must use these social interactions to better understand the situation in the imperial city."
Jun Moye walked to her side and held her in his arms.
"Chuchu is absolutely right. However, regarding the social events in the imperial city, you will have to deal with those annoying wives of high-ranking officials in the future."
Su Hanchu spoke lazily in his arms.
"What's the point of talking about whether it's hard or not? I've been living a peaceful life for too long and I'm going to get bored. I just want to hang out with these people for a bit."
A night passed.
After the morning court session the next day.
Emperor Tianyuan kept the second and third princes.
In the imperial study, Emperor Tianyuan looked at the two of them.
"Have you all been to the Bai residence?"
The third prince was dissatisfied when he heard this.
"Father, I don't understand why Jun Moye is just the son of a criminal. Even if he is lucky enough to have established himself in Baise City, this Baise City is just a lowly place. Why would you bother with such a person?"
Emperor Tianyuan looked at the angry Third Prince with a hint of displeasure on his face.
"Third Brother, even though you've been in the imperial court for the past few years, you haven't made any progress at all."
Then he turned his gaze to the Second Prince.
"Second brother, do you think so too?"
Jun Moyong saw a hint of anger in Emperor Tianyuan's tone, and hurriedly bowed and spoke.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Third brother has always been straightforward and speaks bluntly. You know him well. Your Majesty, you are a magnanimous person. Please don't bother with him. Since you reminded me, I went to the Bai residence yesterday and repeatedly told Jun Moye how much you value him. Oh, and Sixth brother was there too. We had a very pleasant chat yesterday."
Emperor Tianyuan nodded upon hearing this, and looked at the Second Prince with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
"Well, you did a good job. I don't care whether your relationship with Jun Moye was good or bad before. But since Baise City is managed by the Jun family, it should naturally belong to Tianyuan. The prince has been absent from court these past few days due to a cold. You two should pay more attention to the affairs of Baise City. No matter who it is, as long as you persuade Jun Moye to stay in the imperial city and hand over Baise City, I will reward you handsomely."
Jun Moyong bowed upon hearing this.
"Yes, I understand. This is a rare opportunity to share your father's worries. I will definitely do my best to accomplish this."
The third prince pursed his lips and wanted to say something when he saw this, but he didn't open his mouth in the end. Now that his father was determined to take over Baise City, he still couldn't make his father angry. It seemed that he had to discuss it with his brother, the crown prince. Jun Moyong had been a little wild recently.
Emperor Tianyuan glanced at the second prince and said something.
"You just said that Lao Liu also went there yesterday?"
Jun Moyong bowed again upon hearing this.
"Yes, after I had a conversation with Jun Moye, my sixth brother arrived. I was about to leave, as this matter shouldn't be rushed. But Jun Moye actually invited me to have dinner with him. The three of us ate together."
Emperor Tianyuan pondered for a moment after hearing this.
"Well, since you guys can get along well, it wouldn't be a problem for you to bring Lao Liu closer to him in the future."
In the Queen's Palace.
After the concubines paid their respects early this morning, the Queen also kept Concubine De.
Defei spoke with a smile on her face.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has left me alone, but is there anything you want me to do?"
The queen smiled and spoke upon hearing this.
"It's nothing serious. A few days ago, the emperor gave me a pair of bracelets inlaid with pink gemstones. I have always liked the color red, as you know, so I thought this pink bracelet would suit you very well."
As soon as the queen finished speaking, Nanny Su, who was standing behind her, came up to Concubine De with a bracelet in her hand.
"Your Highness, the Empress has a unique vision. This pink bracelet will look great on you, Your Highness. Let me put it on for you now."
Concubine De looked at the bracelets on the tray and tightened her handkerchief. Red was for the wife, pink for the concubine. Even though she was Concubine De, no matter how high her rank was, she was still a concubine in front of the empress. Was the empress trying to hit her with a bracelet? As a concubine, should she behave herself? Despite her displeasure, Concubine De still spoke with a smile on her face.
"Your Majesty, your taste is naturally the best. I like this bracelet very much, but I am old after all. Even the second prince I gave birth to has already married. It is not appropriate for me to wear pink at my age. After all, I am old. Why don't you keep this pink bracelet and give it to your new sister in the palace as a reward?"
The queen's smile faded upon hearing this.
"De Fei, I think this pink bracelet and tie are the most suitable. We have been together in this palace for many years. Do you still not believe in my judgment? I believe that even the emperor would think it is very suitable when he sees you wearing this bracelet."
Then he glanced at Nanny Su.
"Why don't you bring it to Concubine De?"
Nanny Su picked up the bracelet.
"Your Highness, this is a new style. I think it looks great. It's a gift from the Empress, so please wear it."
